Help The Baby Fight for His Life

He didn't make it. Rare autoimmune red cells attacked his body. Still have to pay vet costs & would like to get cremated. Hi, my name is Allison and I'm raising money for The Baby. On Wednesday, The Baby was lethargic. Thursday morning, I found him extremely lifeless on the floor. He had throw up on his chin and urine on his leg. I rushed him to the vet clinic as soon as it opened. The vet called around noon and said he had low liver levels, thought it might be FIV, a bladder infection, and low bilirubin. He was hospitalized and put on fluids and oral antibiotics. They thought he would be okay. Friday, he was still not eating and had low liver levels. The vet said it might be bile duct problems and wanted to keep The Baby there all weekend on fluids.

Now it's not so optimistic. It can go either way. I'll get a call if he gets a lot better or if he takes a turn for the worse. This is an awful feeling, not knowing and not being able to call and check. The vet clinic isn't open on the weekends, and during the week, they're so busy I can barely get through to even ask. I trust my vet fully and know he'll do everything to try and save him. I rescued The Baby from a humane society, fostering him at 4 months until he was old enough to officially adopt. There's no cause for this, most likely genetics. The first 4 months of his life were probably not ideal.

His vet costs for the first 36 hours were already $1,200, and after the weekend, around $1,800. If he's the same on Monday, tests will get redone and I can bring him home, hopefully. My poor baby is so sick. I have $800 of the vet bill covered but need $1,000 more. I also run a cow rescue. Every dime I've had goes to them.

I've been off work as I fractured 2 bones in my leg. I'm severely immune deficient. I don't make antibodies or have an immune system, which has delayed healing. Also, I'm anaphylactic to all medication, so that hasn't helped. Just healing has zapped a lot of my energy. So, I couldn't care for the cows, work, and heal. I've run into a hard situation with hay not being quality, plus large vet bills, and needing special food. Asking for help for a load of hay needed immediately. $200x10=$2,000. I'll need around 500 bales this winter. Also, buying cookies at $45 per day.

This is the hardest things have been. I'm really struggling. I do everything alone as I live in the beef state and am the only one saving cows. I grew up on the other side and made this choice. I am a huge animal lover, as that's how I was raised. My mom was a big animal lover. She passed away 3 years ago on the 15th, which also adds to this emotional time. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
